Definition
Adenylylselenate is an intermediate in selenoamino acid metabolism. Adenylylselenate is produced from selenate via the enzyme sulfate adenylyltransferase [EC:2.7.7.4] and then converted to selenite via the enzyme adenylylsulfate reductase [EC:1.8.99.2]. The reaction between adenylselenate and adenylylsulfate kinase [EC:2.7.1.25] also gives rise to the 3'-Phosphoadenylylselenate.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine ribonucleoside monophosphates. These are nucleotides consisting of a purine base linked to a ribose to which one monophosphate group is attached.
